The hygh-tec system is a novel, next-generation fecal management system (FMS) that dramatically improves fecal sealing performance and safety, making fecal management a safer, more efficient, cost-effective and respectful experience for everyone.
The problem with traditional fecal management systems is that they leak. And when an FMS leaks, it triggers a problematic cascade of increased burden, risk and cost. The hygh-tec system fundamentally changes all of that, by minimizing leakage and the need for reactive cleaning.

The value of preserving patients’ dignity in their most vulnerable time can’t be quantified. But by enabling that added measure of respect both for staff and patients, the hygh-tec system can have a real impact on the patient experience, employee satisfaction, and hospital reputation.
